I don't think I need to elaborate any further but I swear I've seen more threads on looks this past week then I've seen in the my two and a half years on this forum (or at least as many). What's going on?

Well, there are a couple of posters who have generated several of those. You add to that the usual short guy/tall guy threads, plus an occasional new member throwing in a topic in that general vein, and it adds up to a temporary trend. And I think to a certain extent, those threads feed off each other. People see a topic and create a spin-off from it.

I don't notice a difference. There always have been looks threads and always will be looks threads; the same ones over and over and over and over.

Not sure about what's going on, but I'm amazed at how they always single out one specific feature of a person's appearance and agonize over it, not considering that when you see someone, you're looking at the whole package of that person, not just their height, or the shape of their nose, alone.

Because it plays a big part in the dating scene just like other things that are discussed here...I know the pc police wants to pretend it doesnt and people are just judged by whats on the inside but most poeple arent that naive..

This doesn't answer the OP's question, which is, "Why now, suddenly?"

Maybe because it's the holiday season and they can't land the woman they want?

Maybe some people just got on a look tangent. They saw one thread, and started their own about something else related to looks. Who knows.

They all want the same one, and she is CGI. There is the problem.
